Is Marco Antonio past it ?
I just get the immpression he’s going on experience and memory and would get well and trully caned against Pacman .
He dont like pressure and seems to be hood winking the judges i really believe he is there for the taking for a decent young fighter. Marquez ,Harrison and Pacman would break him up IMO.
Looks like Harrison wont be breaking anyone up for a while mind .
I think both him and Morales’ next fights will be one too many (in fact Morales has already had one too many) Don’t know how either of them ever continued so long after their wars with each other!!
Yeah that 1st fight will live in the memory i remember staying up all night to watch it and then walking to work next day at about 6 in the morning .
Golden times .
I believe Morrales won it Barrera fought in spurts but Erik was more consistent over the 3 minutes or most rounds.
MAB has paid his dues .
yes, i do believe Barrera is passed it and if he decides to have a rematch with Manny Pacquioa (heard MAB is fighting Jorge Barrios next though)…he’s gonne get canned
I had Barrera a clear winner in the 1st fight (specially with a 10-8 last round) had Morales nicking the 2nd and Barerra nicking the 3rd I think their 3rd fight was the start of Morales’ slide.
and he had still enough in the tank to beat Manny Pacquioa
Makes you wonder what a prime Morales would’ve done. Pacs tactics were all wrong in that fisrt fight tho.
Barrera been written off his whole career but he always comes up with surprises . N one thought he’d beat Nas after the Jones loss but he was great . Then he was written off against Morales the 3rd time cuz of the Pac loss . Now peolple are saying Pac will be too much . I wouldnt be surprised if Marco skools him in the rematch . He has over come bigger obstacles
He may not be what he was, but i never like to bet against him, he is such a warrior!
The thing is, even though he is a warrior pac brings constant pressure and I dont know if MAB can keep him off for twelve rounds, pac is an animal.
MAB is great fighter,true warrior and Champ but i don’t think that would be any diffrent result in rematch with Pacman. In my book he is already HOF
I don’t see Paciao putting the hurt on MAB…just can’t see that happening…MAB isn’t done yet…1 maybe 2 more top level fights left though…then I could see him regressing drastically…
Age isn’t takiong its toll on MAB, itsthe amount of wars and the same goes for erik, you can see they still have it, but its in spurts rather than for 12 rounds, its still enough to beat most guys though, but not someone as talented, hungry and conditioned as the pacman.
Barerra does like pressure. Juarez did such a good job because he made Barerra lead and countered the counter puncher and by doing that Barerra didn’t ahve the usual steam in the later rounds.
MAB is not as good as he used to be but he is not past it simply he because his second and third gears are good enough to beat most out there but Pacman would beat MAB in a rmatch in my opinion. I expect Marco to perform better but he does not have it in him to go to war with that Pinay monster!! Pac’s pressure would be too much to hold off.
almost every fight in the lower division is a war…why is it when barrera and morales lose…the excuse is they had to many war…every fighter in the lower division gets in to a war…barrera lost twice to jr jones and atleast one to morales and was destroyed by pac…his a nice guy but his not the best atleast not anymore…no one can ever say whos better mab or em…i think they can have 10 fights and still not have a clear winner…it’ll always be close…their fights won’t be as brutal as a fight with pac though alltime…
I don’t think his past it…after he was beat by pac he beat morales…and morales isn’t past it either…pacs only true lost was in morales hands…plus pac brings the best out of morales and morales brings the best out of barrera and barrera brings out the best out of pac…so they are destine to lose to each other…
